.. _FE_GET_INFO:
*****************
ioctl FE_GET_INFO
*****************
Name
====
FE_GET_INFO - Query DVB frontend capabilities and returns information about the - front-end. This call only requires read-only access to the device
Synopsis
========
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct dvb_frontend_info *argp )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.
``request``
FE_GET_INFO
``argp``
pointer to struct struct
:ref:`dvb_frontend_info <dvb-frontend-info>`
Description
===========
All DVB frontend devices support the ``FE_GET_INFO`` ioctl. It is used
to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to
obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
returns an error.
